Stray Dog Jumps Into Traffic—Just in Time for a Life-Saving Rescue

The Dodo

It took so long to get the leash around the first one — wait until the second one decides to hop right into her car. Diane told us how she built up their trust in order to rescue them, and gives us an update on where they are now!

00:00This dog jumped out of nowhere in front of my car.

00:03Immediately stopped and grabbed some food that I had in the back of my car.

00:09Oh, there's another one.

00:13Were you hurt, buddy?

00:15Hey.

00:18I fed them and I tried to get closer to see if they were friendly.

00:27Come here.

00:29Hey.

00:30When I first tried to approach them, they were both very timid.

00:37There was no way in that moment, even if I wanted to try and get them in my car, that I had the resources to do that.

00:45Stay there, okay? I'll be back.

00:47No.

00:58It's starting to rain.

01:00I'm going to go.

01:04Bye, guys.

01:06Are you snoozing?

01:08Ben wanted to quickly grab an animal or force them to do something that they don't want to do.

01:16I love being in the moments with them and allowing them to trust me and feel safe with me.

01:29If I could gain the black dog's trust first, then that white dog would see that his companion trusted me and then would hopefully come around.

01:42Bye, people.

01:55Bye.

01:58Bye.

02:00Bye.

02:04Bye.

02:04Hey, you can do it buddy, you just did so good.

02:21I was actually shocked that that thought process of mine worked and it was amazing.

02:28Hi, nice to meet you.

02:35You guys are so beautiful.

02:38Okay, you can go home.

02:49But I just wanted to give you a quick update on our two boys.

02:54You're doing so good.

02:57We're gonna call the white one Kenneth, but he just keeps responding to Kenneth.

03:01He's just the happiest, franciest boy.

03:09And the black dog who has yet to find his perfect name is just a house hippo.

03:18A house hippo.

03:24It's a little bit too.

03:26Here it is.

03:28I'll see you next time.
